The EV9 gains a range-topping GT trim with enhanced power and drivability. It features exclusive 21-inch GT wheels, neon green accents and sports seats.

A 99.8kWh battery pack ensures a range of up to 280 miles, while the dual motor powertrain puts out 510PS. Like the EV6 GT, the EV9 GT has a virtual gear shift system to enhance driver engagement.
